ICHSF 2025 at IUL in Dortmund

The conference program featured 31 talks covering impulse forming, welding, and joining technologies, and included for the first time a dedicated mini-symposium on adiabatic blanking. A new highlight of this conference was the introduction of the Best Paper Award. Following the evaluations of our independent international scientific committee, the best paper award was presented to: “Combined use of High-Speed Videography and PDV Profilometry for Measuring High Speeds Flyers and Impact Shock Dynamics” by B. Thurston, M. Abdelmaola, J. Seidt, A. Gilat, A. Vivek, and G. S. Daehn.
The IUL and the ICHSF2025 organizing team would like to thank all participants as well as the sponsors, in particular the Gold Sponsor Bmax and the Silver Sponsor PST Products GmbH and our Partner I2FG, for their valuable support. The next ICHSF will be held in India and organized by Prof. Kore, affiliated with VJTI Mumbai and IIT Goa.
